Mapper parsing exception for dynamic field mapping

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hey guys,
I'm trying to setup my index and i'm running into an issue concerning empty field values

I have a default dynamic template defined for fields starting with en that looks like so:

        {
          "english": {
            "match": "en_*",
            "match_mapping_type": "string",
            "mapping": {
              "type": "text",
              "analyzer": "english",
              "copy_to": "suggest"
            }
          }
        }

This is suppose to analyze any fields starting with that prefix with the english analyzer and copy it's content to a suggest field defined below. The problem is that any indexing operation that contains a field with the name matching that pattern will fail if the field's value is an empty string. I tried enabling the ignore_malformed option as an index setting , but that still didn't fix the issue.

Where should i look to enable ES to drop these fields or ideally keep them with the empty value and not fail the entire index operation?
Thanks
